The United States’ Mikaela Shiffrin secured her fourth International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Skiing Slalom World Cup title after claiming a second win in as many days on home snow in Squaw Valley.

Fresh from triumphing in yesterday’s women’s giant slalom, the 21-year-old clocked an overall time of 1min 39.48sec for an 11th victory of the season.

Czech Republic’s Sarka Strachova was 1.03 seconds back in second and Austria’s Bernadette Schild a further 0.05 off the pace in third.

Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener had led Shiffrin by 0.02 seconds after posting a first-run time of 47.44sec, but she skied out on the final gates of the course.
